I wish I was a big screen hero
Some fat old cowboy who draws his guns
At the slightest threat or provocation
Well I'd blast my way right into your arms
Mmhhm I tried, tried, how I tried now
Shooting first and asking questions later
Threw my hat down
Drew a line
But end up bleeding in the sand
I guess baby, it's just not our time
Right now
Well I wish I was a wise old writer
Well I'd wax poetic about some grace
Well I'd grow out my beard and write you love songs
Mmhhm but they'd all be just about your name
Mmhhm I tried, tried, how I tried now
Tried to write it all down
The ink bled into the white
I wrote a verse and struck a line through
But baby, it's just not our time
Right now
Well I wish I was a brave old gambler
Well I'd throw out bills like some old rags
Well I'd puff out my chest and show up all the rich folk
And I'd win the day with a losing hand
Mmhhm I tried, tried, how I tried now
Tried to go all in
But you're not something to be won
Like some old war or silver lump sum
Baby, it's just not our time
Right now
